"Celebration books"

Each night, your child brings home a reading bag that contains a green sign-off sheet and a book that we have practiced many times at school.  These books are meant to be "celebration books" because they should be easy books for your child to read.  They are celebrating how fluent (smooth) of a reader they have become and are also showing off their wonderful reading strategies that they use daily to help them when they get stuck on a word. 
These strategies include:

Please set aside a quiet time to have your child read this book to you. They are proud to share how hard they are working to become a better reader. After your child has read the book to you, please sign the green sign-off sheet and write any comments you have for me on the sheet.  This communication will help me to know if we need to work on word parts, sight words, or reading with expression more.  Your child will bring the book (and bag) back to school the next day.  After we have exchanged books 10 times, your child can pick from my prize box. I really appreciate your partnership with me in helping your child become a super-star reader!
